Hi all, an early version of VTServer is still at:
http://www.tuhs.org/Archive/PDP-11/Tools/Tapes/Vtserver/
I think some others took it and extended; Fred van Kempen springs to
mind.
To load V6, you need to build a virtual tape which replicates the
V6 tape. Hopefully this is easy to do.
However, the problem is that both "boot" and "vtboot.pdp" contain the
client-side code to talk to the server, and it seems that I didn't
supply the source code for this.
I'll go home and dig through my old stuff and see what I can find.
Cheers, Warren

My plan too, Warren, but I haven't quite made it 'home' yet. Writing a
paper for a workshop next month.... :-) I know I made it work and booted
V6 on my 11/34. -- Ian
